hi guys. i have an 05 gulfstream super-c. the bedroom window has a leak in a hard rain. the water gathers in the slide channel and runs down the wall. i have sealed all that looks like might be a path for water to get through. the last rain we had, i still have a leak. i keep a paper towel stuffed behind the escape handle to wic up the water, and yes the handle is pushed tight. any ideas? thanks

my windows did the same thig and wht I done was remove the rubber gromett from around the window on the outside and very carefully remove the glass,,,be very careful and do it slow and dont force it,, whn removed clean the window and the frame where the window mates up to it and ,,,run a bead of a good brand ( pro-flex I recomend) around the mating surface,, replace the window on the bead of caulkin and allow to set for a few hours and reinstall windows,,,do the front overhead window also while you are at it and it will not leak ... the water is coming in around the class to window mating surface caulkin the out side of the window frame where it meets the fibrglas will not stop the leak....good luck and be careful removing the glass....Terry

There should be drain holes or slots on the lower outside part of the window frame that allows the water that gets into the channel to drain. See if those are plugged and just need cleaned out.

I resealed two windows on my TT this summer, and it was straightforward. Scrape out the old sealand, and replace with a generous amount of butyl tape. I allowed the butyl to squeeze out over a two week period in the sun, then scraped the excess off, and finished it up with a neat bead of white silicone.

a far out answer is that it may not be the window assembly leaking. 
I had a leak that started at the top, must have trickled down inside the wall and then hit the window channel and showed up there. Took more than a case to figure that one out.
